2 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 2New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
these things entrust to faithful men: Paul wants Timothy to pass on, or entrust, to other responsible men the precious truths that Timothy has learned. The word rendered “entrust” suggests that he is to do so with care. (See study note on 1Ti 6:20.) Paul’s direction harmonizes with Jesus’ command that all disciples must teach others. (Mt 28:19, 20) Paul outlines the following progression: Jesus taught Paul who, in turn, taught Timothy who then entrusted those teachings to faithful men who taught still others.
adequately qualified to teach: The Greek word rendered “adequately qualified” can mean “competent” or “sufficient” to carry out a task. In writing to the Corinthians, Paul used the same word to explain that God makes Christians competent for the work he assigns them.—See study note on 2Co 3:5.
